At least 40 dogs have mysteriously gone missing since November in a small North Texas town, but authorities say they have no idea who is taking them or why.

Elwood, a New Jersey canine that took home the distinction of the being the world's ugliest dog, died Thanksgiving morning at the age of eight (or, fifty-six, depending on your interpretation of dog years).

Barney Bush, former First Dog of the United States (FDOTUS), has lost his battle with lymphoma. The Scottish Terrier was 12 years old and described by Bush as the son he never had.
